Crown Point President Brian Stowell's innovative Neoclassical style Crown Point Kitchen

Our very own Brian Stowell’s Crown Point Kitchen is currently being featured in the April Issue of Old House Interiors Magazine!

Crown Point Cabinetry's design patented Squared Channel face frames

As President of Crown Point, Brian wanted to take advantage of the blank slate of his own home to develop something fresh and innovative for the company.  He consulted Crown Point Product Designer, Fred Puksta to come up with the design.   The result was the development of a new decorative element, called the channel stock face frame, that would become the foundation of our Squared Channel and Straight Channel construction styles.

This kitchen became the first from our Neoclassical line, featuring the Squared Channel face frame.  A stunning island in reclaimed antique chestnut is the eye-catching focal point of the room.  Perimeter cabinetry is installed at varying heights and finished in two complementary colors.  Taking cues from architecture in Rome, Florence and Venice, design details such as pediments, arches and intricate crown mouldings are the finishing touches on this beautiful, unique kitchen.

Charlestown Kitchen: After!

The homeowners of this Charlestown, New Hampshire home had never really liked their natural wood cabinets.  They preferred the look of clean, crisp white cabinetry.  Last year, it was time for a change, and they called upon Crown Point Cabinetry to remodel their kitchen.

“We wanted to keep our appliances,” said the homeowners when asked what was on their wish list. “We like simple, small details and wanted to incorporate green glass tiles we had seen on a cooking show.”  They also wanted a way to hide items like the blender, ordinarily kept on the counter.

Charlestown Kitchen: Before.

The result is a bright, open kitchen.  The new cabinetry, finished in Farrow & Ball Wimborne White, was built to accommodate the existing appliances and extends to the ceiling to make full use of the wall space. The custom cherry island sports the countertop from the original island and provides an accent point finished in Fiddletone stain. An appliance garage hides the blender and, as the homeowner had envisioned, the green glass tile makes for a stylish backsplash.

Far wall: Before.

Perhaps the most exciting transformation in this space is the previously empty wall, opposite the main kitchen.

Far wall: After!

“We entertain a lot,” said the homeowners. “We wanted to have a separate area for a wet bar and decided to utilize one entire wall, gaining pantry space in the process.”

A sink, beverage fridge and an ample black marble countertop make this an ideal prep space for entertaining.  Stemware is conveniently housed behind glass doors above, and small green glass tiles placed in a unique wave pattern unify this area with the kitchen.

The homeowners shared some final thoughts:

“Crown Point Cabinetry listened to our ideas and our desire for quality with functionality.  They were able to create our vision and we couldn’t be happier with the end result!  Thank you!”

To which we say: “You’re very welcome, enjoy!”
